Noah Scalin's "After Life"- installation shotA skull drawn on the surface of a deflated balloon was unexpected, both for the surface chosen and for the detail apparent in the drawing.
Another skull painted in gold (or in gold leaf or foil?) stood out for the subtle rendering of the image and for the delicate mottling of the material when it was viewed from different angles. There is a lot to see in this show- it was difficult to select only a few pieces to post. Check out Scalin's blog to see more skulls by him and by others!
"Small Story" by Nicoté in the front of the gallery is charming! This drawing installation created by an artist couple utilizes stickers and contour lines that stretch across paper and wall to create a potentially narrative image, spanning from the beach to the desert.
The simplicity and spontaneity of this expanded drawing were pleasant surprises.
Check out "After Life" at Quirk until August 22nd. "Small Story" will be on view until July 25th.
